The Mobile World Congress (MWC) never fails to showcase the most exciting innovations in the mobile technology space
This year’s show was a mix of predictable phone upgrades and some more left-field concepts, including phone cases with built-in solar panels and back panels that change colour or are made from E Ink displays
The telephoto camera has traditionally been a weak point in mobile phone cameras, but Xiaomi 15 Ultra addresses this with a 200-megapixel periscope camera, making it the standout phone of the show
Other unusual features included Realme and Xiaomi’s concepts for big camera lenses that attach to the back of phones, and Infinix’s solar-powered phone case concept
Some of the best innovations were not even phones, but concepts for devices such as a folding handheld gaming console from Samsung Display and a foldable laptop from Lenovo
